Today was one of those days where I put the work aside and spent time with my friend, Carla, and my sister Sara. We broke out the aprons and did some baking for Thanksgiving. We started this morning at 10:00am and I am still baking some cookies at 8:30pm. We started off this morning making pumpkin logs. They are awesome but quite involved. First you make the cakes and them roll them up and let them cool. Once they are totally cooled you unroll them and fill them with yummy cream cheese filling. That is the best part. I would double up on that part if I could. We made 9 pumpkin logs today.

After that we figured while we were at it, we would make chocolate whoopie pies. Now these are the best. We quadrupled the recipe and I will probably be baking them until 11:00 tonight. After they cool, we will fill them with a yummy filling too. We will freeze everything and then break it out on Thanksgiving. My next baking will come when I host the 2nd annual cookie exchange. I will tell you more about that later. For now, it's back to baking. Thanks Carla and Sara for making it a great day!
